Wrapping The Week

Friday, August 12, 2011

Well, I booked our anniversary trip. We are going to Albuquerque, New Mexico with a day trip to Santa Fe on the agenda. Again, we wanted to go somewhere neither of us have been. We are staying at the Los Poblanos Inn and Organic Farm, which looks incredible. I'm very excited.

This week has been full of gorgeous weather and killer play dates with Audrey's latest BFF, Tommy. On Sunday, I'm taking my folks to see Brick By Chance or Fortune, a documentary about St. Louis' rich heritage of brick architecture. My dad recently retired from the bricklayer's union after 40+ years, so it should be fascinating for him. 

Awesome to see Pokey's St. Louis guide on Design*Sponge this week. The site has been lovin' on St. Louis this year, with my St. Louis guide published in May. I hope more and more people discover how great this town is.

Mashup. Two of my favorite people.

Cripes, this house is incredible.  And then I saw this one.

I love this burro photo and have been riveting by the Jellyfishheart blog all week. 

Rainbow jello has me excited.

I love this poem, I Am, by Ava Schicke, who is all of 8 years old. More here.

I can't believe anyone would consider tearing this beauty down. Depressing.

Peggy Guggenheim party in Venice in the 1960s.

Summer is almost over...squeeze it in.
